What if the key to exercising better is what happens in the brain after the workout? Had so much fun writing this Preview with @sophiesteculorum.bsky.social: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Congratulations to all authors, super elegant work @morgankindel.bsky.social @betleylab.bsky.social!!

✨Happy to share our preview with @cgardanaz.bsky.social on the latest exciting work from the Betley Lab🧠🏃‍♂️💪! Big congrats to @morgankindel.bsky.social , Ryan Post, @betleylab.bsky.social and all the authors for this amazing work 👏🎉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1n31A3BtfH...

You are what you eat! Actually, you are also what your mother smelled during pregnancy!🤰 👃smell of high fat diet during #pregnancy primes for #obesity in offspring Want to know more? Full story here www.nature.com/articles/s42... Congrats! 👏@sophiesteculorum.bsky.social @lcreimon.bsky.social

🤩 I’m beyond excited to finally share our paper! 🎉 It’s been a long journey and a true team effort. Congratulations to our outstanding first authors, @lcreimon.bsky.social and Ayden Gouveia, and to all of the co-authors who made this possible 🙌! www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Thanks @thetransmitter.bsky.social and to my lab for brightening my week with this rising stars in neuroscience award!! Wish I could be in #sfn to celebrate in the sun. Wonderful list of people: www.thetransmitter.org/early-career...

I'm more than psyched to share that my PhD paper is now out in Neuron! It's also my first paper as both first author and corresponding author, which means even more to me! Thank my partner Chi-Chieh for her contribution to the most adorable ever graphic abstract 🥰

New paper live! Lots of us assumed that synaptic transmission decreases after energy shortage due to direct neuronal failure. But... Is that the case? Spoiler: no! It's astrocytes guiding them! ⭐ Check the full study with @maitesolas.bsky.social & others: www.aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/...

PAPER ALERT!📣📣 Low brain glucose? It’s not just neuron starvation. Astrocytes sense, respond, and regulate synapses. GLUT1 in astrocytes is a key player in protecting the brain from metabolic stress. Check out our full study with @cgardanaz.bsky.social www.aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/...

This was a really fun project: We blocked obesity in mice by making them do a tiny bit of work for their food. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our new preprint: 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. We describe how the LS guides defensive responses by forming critical computations built from functionally and molecularly distinct cells and their afferent inputs. www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-6...

📢 🤩Excited to share our latest paper👃🧠! Huge thanks to the amazing first author @janice-bulk.bsky.social‬ and all co-authors, especially @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social and ‪@tobiasackels.bsky.social‬ 🙌! ‬‬ www.nature.com/articles/s42...

My first first-author paper is live - this is amazing!! 🤩 Check it out in Nature Metabolism: www.nature.com/articles/s42... I can't thank my co-authors and everyone who helped make this happen enough! @sophiesteculorum.bsky.social @mpi-metabolism.bsky.social

Exciting news from @sophiesteculorum.bsky.social Lab!🤓 👃🧠 Smelling food primes your brain for satiety. Find out more in 🧵 or under 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s42... Congrats to @sophiesteculorum.bsky.social , first author @janice-bulk.bsky.social and all contributing authors!

🚨 Paper alert! 📣 We found abnormal feeding-related neural responses in satiety-promoting, MC4R-expressing neurons in the mouse paraventricular hypothalamus (PVH-MC4R) following diet-induced obesity. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... ​​ #obesity #feedingbehaviour #obesityresearch #neuroscience

Last week I had the pleasure to attend and present a poster at the GRC Modulation of Neural Circuits and Behavior. Unbeatable sharing of science, companionship... and breathtaking venue catalyzing all of it!

🚨 Preprint alert! 🚨 Can mice estimate the distance to an odour source? New work led by Cristina Marin and colleagues, jointly supervised by @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk and myself. Spoiler alert: Yes, they can! Read the paper here: bit.ly/43A9tF9 Short 🧵 below
